Two days grand slam (or a day and a half)

Let’s make the most of it ! and sleep over at the Great Wall !

DAY 1 – Great Wall

Pick up at the hotel by 9:30 am.

Depending of the location of your hotel we start with a small hutong tour before heading to the countryside.

On our way, after 30 min of motorway and 30 min of nice countryside and hilly roads, we make a first stop at the Silver Mountains Pagodas, an out off the touristic map site that is simply amazing for its stunning beauty.

After another 45 min ride in the mountains we arrive at the foot of the Great Wall. We then start to climb and that takes about 45 min.

On the top of the Wall, we have a delicious French picnic with the magnificent view of the lakeside Great Wall. There is no tourist there so it’s just relaxing time.

After an hour or so we start the descent on the other side of the wall for about 30 m.

A few drinks and we ride again!

We will ride in great looking mountain roads first in a valley then climb two passes before accessing a secluded valley where our hotel will unveil the best view possible at the foot of the Great Wall.

DAY 2 – Ming tombs, and a great ride back to Beijing.

After an early breakfast, we make our way back to Beijing, but not before going to see some of the old emperors tomb.

Then back on the motorway to Beijing, where we will drop you off at your hotel, or somewhere else you would like to go.

If you booked the whole 2-Day Grand Slam, we will have a great lunch in a small Chinese restaurant, and then continue our day with a tour of Beijing.

The tour resume then with:

Central Business District and its new innovating world famous buildings and the famous Reem Koolhaas ‘s CCTV building

Hutongs (traditional small alleys) in the South, authentic Beijing life !

A very animated street market

Qian Men and the new Beijing Urbanisme (old hutongs were destroyed and new artifical ones)

The New Beijing Opera, the “eggshell” by French Architect Paul Andreu

Jingshan park (the Charcoal Hill), so we can have the view of the “sea of golden roofs” of the Forbidden City

Drum and Bell Tower one of the oldest monuments in this city.
